I'm usually very picky about it and want my computer to be idle when it's idle, like below 1% load. And usually I had to resort to various tricks to achieve it like unloading all tabs manually and even sending STOP signal to Firefox to freeze it when I'm not using it.
But now… I no longer have to. I mean yeah, it still wakes up occasionally and consumes a couple of percents of CPU when in the background, but it's barely noticeably even on my aged hardware.
They did an outstanding job!

This just creates a shortcut, it's even mentioned in the article:

PWA-like containertization used to be possible, but it wasn't without issues, sadly, they preferred to remove that functionality a couple of years ago instead of getting it in order.
I hope they revisit it, now they have FF Containers an it would probably be easier to implement.

There has to be a really advanced course "C++ for non-dummies: when you'd rather not, but you really have to" somewhere 😂

Who buys these? Those who really want an iPhone, but can't because the don't want to be like one of them "iSheep"? 🤷
Sorry for the rant. Fuck Android! Fuck Google — fuck all of it! 😅
@charlie_root
I get it when it comes to cheap phones — you can get decent hardware for like $300, but "flagships"… You get something that looks like it was hacked together over a weekend for the price of iPhone 🤦
And unlike with hobbyist devices, you can't have nice things on it because hardware has to look "sleek" — no matter that software doesn't come even close, the product ends up looking like an expensive sports car someone shat in.
@charlie_root
That's what I'd be using — I don't care how buggy it is, at least it's worth fixing and I would be able to do it and customize my device down to the last pixel — better than wasting time relying on hacks to make Android less pain to look at. It's the absolute worst! Over a decade has passed — true, it doesn't look like a blast from the nineties, but it still has hands down the worst design I could be able to come up with in… absolutely everything! How could it become popular?
@charlie_root
You know I have nothing against Wayland, I'm not in any of the camps here.
And I had had high hopes for Phosh, but when I got the opportunity to use it on a real phone — I didn't like it at all, it's like it follows the same design paradigms as the green wastebucket and the fruit, but everything is… clunkier. Meh.
Weren't you on SXMO/SWMO though?
@olmitch
MS has a history of doing it to their products that show potential of not being a load of horse manure, I'm surprised that they didn't kill off Xbox after only a few months 😅
And that Google shit is just horrid! Like… come on, guys, I've been buying your products precisely because I didn't want to touch anything by Google — switching to reskinned Chrome and Android is not the migration path I've been expecting 😩

And it actually works! I had it on my Lumia. Albeit a bit slowly — if this phone had more RAM it might be kinda useful, given that it can be dicked and used as a normal computer. Sadly, it only supports 1080 resolution on HDMI, but damn! Its just am old phone.

BTW I'm actually using Bloat on Windows 10 Mobile to write this reply 😂
Sure, it looks clunky, but for some reason I really like it.

Don't know, bro!
We should just get rid of the damn things — they make me depressed 😩
@adiz
I'm on Mastodon™ Network today — can't access the Fediverse as the machine that hosts my Pleroma instance is building llvm for the third day 🤣
And yes, of course it has new(-ish) monsters and weapons that are actually useful. And some new mechanics like those wall dispensers — no, not like in Half-Life! 😡
System Shock was first to introduce them — and relied on them heavily. Nothing original was introduces in HL. In fact, it gave me the first impression of being so unoriginal that I've given up on it almost immediately to play Shrak — another Quake mod that wasn't even that great when I look at it now. But it did have its fun parts.
Speaking of #Quake , here is one of my all time favourite mods: https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/oum.html
TBH, it took effort to find it — had I not been hung over from the New Year's celebration, I'd probably given up finding it as I've been certain it had a completely different name.
Anyway, the maps are super-neat with lots of detail, and it has atmosphere and somewhat vague, but a story — not unlike Zerstŏrer, but it's still in the vein of Quake.
Damn, QuakeForge project is still alive!

I used to hang out with the devs on their IRC channel when I was graduating high school. Yes, back then IRC was still a thing and XMPP wasn't yet — I mean it probably existed in some form, but even in tech circles people were mostly unaware of it. Anyway, long time ago. CVS was mostly used for source control — that long ago.
And that project is still alive and well today — even has Vulkan renderer. Good to see! 😁

Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
